I found this too but it seemed to right itself after about a week. I don&#39;t go so often now but when I do its easier (not going into too much detail I hope!). I think your body needs to adapt to the new diet.

I&#39;d also question...are you constipated or just not going? There&#39;s a difference there too. I&#39;d go ahead with the other suggestions, but if you&#39;re not actually constipated your body is likely just adjusting. We don&#39;t need to have BMs every day. Good luck

Robb Wolf addressed this in his recent podcast. He says there is an adaptation period while the body adjusts. Something like the gut is used to using the &#39;irritant&#39; of gluten in grains to stimulate peristalsis and now has to shift over and could take some time. The recs were to make sure to get plenty of fats and fish oil; so maybe up your fat %? Is the 50% calories or intake? Imho fat % of calories could be higher.

But to ease the transition period maybe add some more fibrous veggies for a few days, although I agree with other posters that for longer term this is debatable. You can search on nutrition data for ones that are good. When I felt stuck in that department just ate some cooked greens, avocado and steamed artichoke and everything started moving.

I had that problem when I was paleo. Avocado did the trick for me then. Haven&#39;t had too much trouble with it since going Primal, but I do notice that if I have a particularly coconut oil laden meal... let&#39;s just say it has quite an effect.

I started PB a day before you, and have no problems with being regular yet. I&#39;ve been eating a lot of BAS with spinach being the primary leafy green and snack on carrot sticks, nuts (walnuts and almonds) and blueberries during the day. Seems to have worked fine so far.
